LeBron James Returning To Cleveland? The Cavaliers Set To Make The All-Star A Huge Contract Offer In 2014 (Details)

The Akron Beacon Journal’s Jason Lloyd reported that the Cavs are saving cap room space to make the eight-time NBA All-Star a max contract offer.

Executives and agents around the league are convinced the Cavaliers won’t do anything to jeopardize their ability to sign a free agent to a max contract during the summer of 2014, when LeBron James can again become a free agent. As fans in Northeast Ohio continue to howl and remain divided about the possibility of his return, more and more people around the league believe there is a strong possibility James will indeed return to Cleveland after next season.

Lebron, an Ohio native who still lives there in the off season has said a return to Cleveland is not out of the question.

“I think it would be great,” James said before a game against the Cavs last season. “It would be fun to play in front of these fans again. I had a lot fun times in my seven years here. You can’t predict the future, and hopefully I continue to stay healthy. I’m here as a Miami Heat player, and I’m happy where I am now, but I don’t rule that out in no sense.”

Chris Broussard of ESPN points out that 30-year old Dwayne Wade appears to be losing a step and Lebron might look at Cleveland as a nice alternative to the Heat. Wade’s scoring and assists are down this year from their career averages.

Cleveland has a nice nucleus of young players like Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters.
